How do you get a 2nd Free Trial? I already used mine last year.

They release all the episodes tomorrow right, and not weekly?

Yeah. I think at midnight tonight. I don't know how I got a second free trial. I just checked premium and the offer was there.

Santa Clarita Diet cancelled after the 3rd season (just released).

A shame. Was my favorite comedy on at the moment.

really ridic how quick netflix is to cancel shows after 2-3 seasons.
thankfully they put aside their stupid ass business model when it came to bojack cuz if they dared cancel that show i'll ****ing burn them to the ground.

santa clarita diet was awesome and its insane that they didn't beg that cast to keep making the show as long as they were willing.

Thanks for that article yimyammer. I personally hate it when shows go on way past their prime, but this opposite side of the spectrum seems just as bad.

I watched the pilot of Santa Clarita, but wasn't into it.

Does it get a lot better a few episodes in?

Average life of a horse is only 30 years. So he'll probably die of natural causes of suicide before the show gets canceled.

Olyphant is one of my favourite actors, but the premise seemed so stupid that i passed on it. Will have to give it a go after the strong recommendations in this thread.

It is completely stupid.

It's the one liners from Olyphant (as well as the neighbor's child) that make it hilarious.

Olyphant plays the role of being on edge perfectly.

Agreed, hopefully this isn't an absolute policy and they can see when they have something special that can last for years. I can't imagine just having 3 seasons of Seinfeld, Friends, etc

its a shame they hold a show hostage from continuing elsewhere
